One of my favorite things to do with strawberries is to combine them with rhubarb. Strawberries and rhubarb is one of those classic flavour combinations and with good reason. The tart rhubarb goes really well with strawberries and I could not let the summer go by without making at least one thing with them. Normally I like to go with a simple strawberry and rhubarb crumble or crisp as they are super easy to throw together but this year I wanted to try making a pie. I still have not mastered the art of pie pastry yet so I have been looking for excuses to practice and a strawberry and rhubarb pie was a perfect one. Pies are a bit more challenging to make and with this one I did alright with the crust but I did forget to add the cornstarch to the filling so it was a bit wetter than I would have liked. Despite the mistake the pie turned out great! The crust was nice and golden brown and light and flaky. The filling tasted amazing and of course the essential scoop of melting vanilla ice cream finished it off perfectly.

As much as I love the taste of strawberry and rhubarb together, it's really the texture of the rhubarb that I adore. It's just perfect. Anyone else like this? I guess texture is really important to me when it comes to food. That's why I just can't seem to enjoy tofu. *wrinkles nose*

This is at the top of my list and my husband's favorite. My mom grows rhubarb in her yard and we always had it fresh many times over the summer growing up. And we never had it without vanilla ice cream. I'm going to have to try your recipe!
